Now if you're not already aware of this card game for horrible people then I probably should tell you it's like Apples to Apples for adults or otherwise a card game filled with all sorts of potentially amusing but potentially also wrong or not PC card combinations. And really it's awesome… or at least it's… Continue reading On the Awesomeness of Cards Against Humanity

A sick day
Today I could write about a number of things, from the fact that I had people over for board games (and round food) last night, or the fact that I watched the season finale of Doctor Who this afternoon (after I finally got vertical enough to transfer myself to the couch to watch the episode).… Continue reading A sick day
Given the scandals and other news stories as of late…
… I've very much wanted to type about consent, the measures many women take to keep themselves safe, harrassment in the workplace and other hot button topics. I've very much wanted to type about the status of women and others in the world today. But while I am a woman I have so often felt… Continue reading Given the scandals and other news stories as of late…
Change and money, employment and education…
Life has a tendency to provide ups and downs but one thing that's a constant is change. And change is hard (and I don't just mean the change that is given back after a financial transaction though that too is hard! 😉 ). 2014 has been a year of change for me, and that might… Continue reading Change and money, employment and education…
The mysterious Andrew!
Yesterday I walked to London Drugs after work to pick up a parcel. And I wasn't disappointed when I received it! It was my Kickstarter reward from having backed Danielle Corsetto's Slingshots Across America tour celebrating 10 years of Girls with Slingshots (one of my favourite webcomics — I actually have gotten very behind on… Continue reading The mysterious Andrew!
On the play One Man, Two Guvnors or humor and my reactions to it
So last night I finally saw One Man, Two Guvnors at The Citadel, and I did rather enjoy it in general. I particularly loved some of the comments made/revealed in the talk back afterward (one of the bonuses of having moved my ticket to a Tuesday evening, I guess!). It was very well performed, and… Continue reading On the play One Man, Two Guvnors or humor and my reactions to it
Sign up for the World's Largest Secret Santa Gift Exchange!
Or at least consider it if you like such exchanges. Registration opened yesterday (well officially, they tested it for a while on the day previous), and there are already over 65,000 registrants. Last year there were 85,000 successful exchanges which is pretty substantial (and resulted in yet another Guinness Book of World Records entry)… and… Continue reading Sign up for the World's Largest Secret Santa Gift Exchange!
We don't actually need to change time, do we?
This topic comes up every time we shift from Standard Time to Daylight Time or back to Standard Time. The reasons we chose to have a time change aren't necessarily all that relevant anymore. Saskatchewan and Arizona do pretty darn well without changing clocks, so why do we all have to deal with this change?… Continue reading We don't actually need to change time, do we?
On Envelopes, Mail, Stationery, and the Art of Sending Mail
Lately, most mail is junk or packages. And I adore receiving packages in the mail in the form of surprises from redditgifts or in the form of extra goodies in something I ordered, or even in the form of subscription boxes (yes, I currently subscribe to two: NerdBlock and BonjourJolie, though I'm very tempted by… Continue reading On Envelopes, Mail, Stationery, and the Art of Sending Mail
On Halloween and Costume Choice
For Halloween this year, I dressed as a Geisha, or more appropriately I wore the kimono I had bought in Japan accompanied with my best approximation of traditional white facial makeup and put my hair up. Mostly I wanted an excuse to wear the kimono, and I wanted to do my very best at both… Continue reading On Halloween and Costume Choice
